Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to use ParaView for parallel visualizations. I have successfully 
compiled ParaView 4.3.1 and tested it by creating a sphere on several 
processors and visualizing the Process Ids.

 

When reading an Xdmf file however, it seems that only one processor is loading 
the data: am I correct in assuming that this is the normal behavior for 
unstructured datasets ? I used the D3 filter to do some load-balancing after 
reading the data, but I don't know if this is necessary for subsequent filters 
to work in parallel ?

 

Also, it seems from the memory inspector that ParaView duplicates the memory 
footprint of the data on each processor, which quickly becomes a problem for 
large datasets. Is this the expected behavior, or does it depend on the 
reader/data format ?

 

Any information on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Jean-Michel
